clam backed dollar

 money backed buy food would reduce erosion of purchasing power
 
(+1, -1) 		  [vote for,
against]

Make money non-fiat again buy backing it with a government clam bank. Unlike gold which goes up and down in fits and starts. clam backed dollars would be tied to the value of a food, whose price typically rises to match inflation. this secondary benefit means that inflation would never affect your moneys purchasing power.

       So on the radio on the way home tonight heard about massive fluctuations in the availability in baby oysters for oyster farms due to ocean water acidization.   

       So are you going to link my economic well being to climate change/global warming/industrial runoff?

       This is a pearl of an idea. Get it right, and the world is your oyster.   

       Just watch out for Sea Otters ...

       Don't start musseling in with bivalve puns - that one was so limpet beggars belief.

       It does open the idea of Government backed frozen food banks as a financial cliff buffer stop.

       Citzens are not going to appreciate having their assets frozen, though.   

       What if there's a financial meltdown ... ?

       Only the food banks would be at a reduced temperature.   

       If there's a large enough meltdown they will be the first to be burnt through.

       also all of the banks could then be underwater thus making them harder to steal from.

       Any h20 additives [bob] to make the food fresher down there underwater. We're all after full open potential, aren't we?
